UR E10 (Rev. 6) - Test Specification for Type Approval

IACS UR E10 is applicable, but not confined, to electrical, electronic andprogrammable equipment intended for control, monitoring, alarm andprotection systems for use in ships.

Performance test ; - Test No : 2 - (when Equipment under test is needed to comply an international standard, e.g. IEC 60255 for protection relays, that is a part of performance testing)

Dry Heat test;- Test No : 5 – (Depending on the size of the EUT and climatic conditions 2 hours are often not sufficient to achieve stable conditions, that is why it is increased to next severity level of IEC 60068-2-2, changed to 16 hours)

Damp Heat test; - Test No : 6 – (The test shall start with 25°C ± 3°C and at least 95% humidity)

Vibration test; - Test No : 7 – (For equipment specified especially forincreased vibration levels the vibration test is to be conducted at the agreedvibration level, frequency range and duration, e.g. fuel oil injection systemsof diesel engines)

UR E10 (Rev. 6) - Test Specification for Type Approval

Salt Mist test - Test No : 12 – (Added for clarification to ensure that anydeterioration or corrosion is superficial in nature.)

For Electrostatic Discharge test – Test No : 13 -

Air discharge: 2kV, 4kV, 8kV

For Conducted Low Frequency test - Test No : 15 –

It is not required to exceed the power limit of 2W and hence it is acceptableto decrease the voltage applied during the test to keep within the powerlimit.

For keeping max. 2W, the voltage of the test signal may be lower.

For Surge/voltage test – Test No : 18 -

The test description was inaccurate and contained incorrect symbols. This hasbeen corrected according to the source standard. For practical purpose nochange in the testing scope.

TL Additional Rule - Regulations for the Performance of the Type Tests Part 1-Test Specification for Type Approval is updated

UR E15 (Rev. 3) - Electrical Services Required to be Operable Under Fire Conditions and Fire

Resistant Cables

The definition of “high fire risk areas” specified by UR E15 (Rev.2) is clarified by givingreference to MSC/Circ.1120.

UR E15 (Rev.2) defines “high fire risk areas” to include machinery spaces such as thosedefined in Chap. II-2 / Reg. 3.30 of SOLAS. However, “machinery spaces as defined byChap. II-2 / Reg. 3.30 of SOLAS” include some spaces which have little or no fire risk (asdefined by MSC/Circ.1120) such as ventilation and air-conditioning rooms as well asstabilizer equipment rooms, etc.

Action : TL Rules, Part B, Chapter 4, Machinery, Section 20 is revised

UR S14 (Rev. 5) - Testing Procedures of Watertight Compartments

• Main reason to change :

To align UR S14 with the Guidelines submitted to the CorrespondenceGroup on Testing of Watertight Compartments which was established atSDC 1. These are based on the guidelines submitted to SDC 1 (SDC1/INF.13). Also to remove the relaxations and reintroduce the structuraltests for Tankers and Combination Carriers, based on Industry feedback andthe discussion at GPG74.

• Change :

A summary of changes made between UR S14 Rev. 4 and Rev. 5 is as follows:
